AI Model

An AI Model records one model offered by an AI Provider. It is a catalog entry. This app performs no inference.

Fields

Field	Type	Required	Description
provider	foreign key to AIProvider	yes	The provider that offers this model. Deleting the provider deletes its models.
name	string	yes	The model identifier the provider expects, for example gpt-4o-mini. Unique within one provider.
description	string	no	Free-text description.
enabled	boolean	yes	Consumers should ignore a disabled model. Default True.
num_predict	integer	no	Overrides the provider default. Leave empty to inherit.
temperature	decimal	no	Overrides the provider default. Leave empty to inherit.
input_cost_per_million	decimal	no	What a million input tokens cost, in the provider's billing currency.
output_cost_per_million	decimal	no	What a million output tokens cost. Usually several times the input price.

Cost

The two cost fields record what a million tokens cost, so that a consumer can price a call before it makes one, or account for one after. They are recorded per model rather than per provider, because two models on one endpoint rarely cost the same.

Input and output are separate fields because they are separately priced, and output is usually several times dearer. An empty value means nobody has recorded a price. That is not the same as free, and a consumer should treat it as unknown.

The app records no currency. A deployment reaching several providers that bill in different currencies should hold the currency in a custom field on the provider.

Resolved values

Read the effective values through two properties. Each returns the model's own value when it is set, and the provider default when it is not.

ai_model.resolved_num_predict
ai_model.resolved_temperature

Discovery

The Discover AI Models job creates and updates these records automatically. See Using the App. The job never deletes a record, and never changes enabled, num_predict, or temperature on an existing record.
